[F131 (1B) Where a partnership to which subsection (1) applies (“the reporting partnership”) includes a partner which is itself a partnership, references in subsections (1) and (1A) to a partner include an indirect partner in the reporting partnership.

(1C) For the purposes of this section, a person is an indirect partner in the reporting partnership if the person is a partner in—

(a) a partnership which is a partner in the reporting partnership, or

(b) any partnership which is an indirect partner in the reporting partnership by virtue of the preceding application of this subsection.]

(2) An officer of the Board may by a notice given to the partners require such person as is identified in accordance with rules given with the notice [F132 or a successor of his]—

(b) to deliver with the return [F133 such accounts, statements and documents, relating to information contained in the return,] as may reasonably be so required.

(3) An officer of the Board may by notice given to any partner require the partner [F134 or a successor of his]—

(b) the day specified for an electronic return must not be earlier than 31st January.

(4E) Exception 2 is that if the notice is given after 31st October in Year 2, the day specified for a return (whether or not electronic) must be after the end of the period of three months beginning with the date of the notice.]

[F136 (5) In the case of a partnership which includes one or more companies, a notice may specify different dates depending on whether a notice in respect of a relevant period is electronic or non-electronic.

(5A) The day specified for a non-electronic return must not be earlier than the end of the period of nine months beginning at the end of the relevant period.

(5B) The day specified for an electronic return must not be earlier than the first anniversary of the end of the relevant period.

(5C) But where the notice is given more than nine months after the end of the relevant period, the day specified for a return (whether or not electronic) must be after the end of the period of three months beginning with the date of the notice.

(5D) For the purposes of this section “relevant period” means the period in respect of which the return is required.

(5E) The Commissioners—

(a) shall prescribe what constitutes an electronic return for the purposes of this section, and

(b) may make different provision for different cases or circumstances.]

(6) Every return under this section shall include—

(ii) for any part of that period,

and, in the case of a person falling within sub-paragraph (ii) above, of the part concerned; and

(b) a declaration by the person making the return to the effect that it is to the best of his knowledge correct and complete.

[F137 But see section 12ABZA.]

(7) Every return under this section shall also include, if the notice under subsection (2) or (3) above so requires—

(a) a partner in a partnership is partner as trustee for a beneficiary who is absolutely entitled to the partner's share of the profits of the partnership, and

(b) the beneficiary is chargeable to tax on those profits,

references in this Act to the partner include references to the beneficiary.]

[F142 (11) In this Act “successor”, in relation to a person who is required to make and deliver, or has made and delivered, [F143 a partnership return], but is no longer available, means—

(a) where a partner is for the time being nominated for the purposes of this subsection by a majority of the relevant partners, that partner; and

(1) This section applies to a partner who is required by a notice under section 12AA to deliver a return.

(2) Before the end of the withdrawal period, the partner may request HMRC to withdraw the notice.

(b) requires correcting in a particular manner,

the like consequences shall ensue for all purposes as would have ensued if, at the time the agreement was made, the tribunal had determined the dispute in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

[F333 28H Simple assessments by HMRC: personal assessments U.K.

(1) HMRC may make a simple assessment for a year of assessment in respect of a person (other than a person to whom section 28I applies) if, when the assessment is made, the person is not excluded by subsection (2) in relation to that year.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a person at any time in relation to that year of assessment if—

(a) the person has delivered a return under section 8 for that year, or

(b) the person is at that time subject to a requirement to make and deliver such a return by virtue of a notice under section 8.

but nothing in this subsection prevents HMRC from giving the person notice of a simple assessment at the same time as a notice withdrawing a notice under section 8.

(3) A simple assessment is—

(a) an assessment of the amounts in which the person is chargeable to income tax and capital gains tax for the year of assessment to which it relates, and

(b) an assessment of the amount payable by the person by way of income tax for that year, that is to say, the difference between the amount in which the person is assessed to income tax under paragraph (a) and the aggregate amount of any income tax deducted at source;

but nothing in this subsection enables an assessment to show as repayable any income tax which any provision of the Income Tax Acts provides is not repayable.

(4) The amounts in which a person is chargeable to income tax and capital gains are net amounts, taking into account any relief or allowance that is applicable.

(5) A simple assessment must be based on information relating to the person that is held by HMRC (whether or not supplied by the person to whom the assessment relates).

(6) The notice of a simple assessment required to be sent to the person by section 30A(3) must (among other things)—

(a) include particulars of the income and gains, and any relief or allowance, taken into account in the assessment, and

(b) state any amount payable by the person by virtue of section 59BA (with particulars of how it may be paid and the date by which it is payable).

(7) The tax to be assessed on a person by a simple assessment does not include any tax which—

(a) is chargeable on the scheme administrator of a registered pension scheme under Part 4 of Finance Act 2004,

(b) is chargeable on the sub-scheme administrator of a sub-scheme under Part 4 of the Finance Act 2004 as modified by the Registered Pension Schemes (Splitting of Schemes) Regulations 2006, or

(c) is chargeable on the person who is (or persons who are) the responsible person in relation to an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme under section 394(2) of ITEPA 2003.

(8) Nothing in this section prevents HMRC issuing more than one simple assessment to the same person in respect of the same year of assessment (whether or not any earlier simple assessment for that year is withdrawn).

(9) In this section references to a simple assessment are to an assessment under this section.

Textual Amendments

28I Simple assessments by HMRC: trustees U.K.

(1) HMRC may make a simple assessment for a year of assessment in respect of a settlement if, when the assessment is made, the relevant trustees of the settlement are not excluded by subsection (2) in relation to that year.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply at any time in relation to that year of assessment if—

(a) a return under section 8A has been delivered for that year by the relevant trustees or any of them, or

(b) there is at that time a subsisting requirement to make and deliver such a return by virtue of a notice under section 8A;

but nothing in this subsection prevents HMRC from giving notice of a simple assessment at the same time as a notice withdrawing a notice under section 8A.

(3) A simple assessment is—

(a) an assessment of the amounts in which the relevant trustees are chargeable to income tax and capital gains tax for the year of assessment to which it relates, and

(b) an assessment of the amount payable by them by way of income tax for that year, that is to say, the difference between the amount in which they are assessed to income tax under paragraph (a) and the aggregate amount of any income tax deducted at source;

but nothing in this subsection enables an assessment to show as repayable any income tax which any provision of the Income Tax Acts provides is not repayable.

(4) The amounts in which the relevant trustees are chargeable to income tax and capital gains are net amounts, taking into account any relief or allowance that is applicable.

(5) A simple assessment must be based only on information relating to the settlement that is held by HMRC (whether or not supplied by the relevant trustees).

(6) The notice of a simple assessment required by section 30A(3) may be given to any one or more of the relevant trustees.

(7) That notice must (among other things)—

(a) include particulars of the income and gains, and any relief or allowance, taken into account in the assessment, and

(b) state any amount payable by the relevant trustees by virtue of section 59BA (with particulars of how it may be paid and the date by which it is payable).

(8) The tax to be assessed by a simple assessment does not include any tax which—

(a) is chargeable on the scheme administrator of a registered pension scheme under Part 4 of Finance Act 2004,

(b) is chargeable on the sub-scheme administrator of a sub-scheme under Part 4 of the Finance Act 2004 as modified by the Registered Pension Schemes (Splitting of Schemes) Regulations 2006, or

(c) is chargeable on the person who is (or persons who are) the responsible person in relation to an employer-financed retirement benefits scheme under section 394(2) of ITEPA 2003.

(9) Nothing in this section prevents HMRC issuing more than one simple assessment in respect of the same settlement and the same year of assessment (whether or not any earlier simple assessment for that year is withdrawn).

(10) In this section references to a “simple assessment” are to an assessment under this section.

(11) In this Act references to the person to whom a simple assessment relates are, in relation to one made under this section, to the relevant trustees of the settlement to which it relates.

[F429 36A Loss of tax involving offshore matter or offshore transfer U.K.

(1) This section applies in a case involving a loss of income tax or capital gains tax, where—

(a) the lost tax involves an offshore matter, or

(b) the lost tax involves an offshore transfer which makes the lost tax significantly harder to identify.

(2) An assessment on a person (“the taxpayer”) may be made at any time not more than 12 years after the end of the year of assessment to which the lost tax relates.

This is subject to section 36(1A) above and any other provision of the Taxes Acts allowing a longer period.

(3) Lost income tax or capital gains tax “involves an offshore matter” if it is charged on or by reference to—

(a) income arising from a source in a territory outside the United Kingdom,

(b) assets situated or held in a territory outside the United Kingdom,

(c) income or assets received in a territory outside the United Kingdom,

(d) activities carried on wholly or mainly in a territory outside the United Kingdom, or

(e) anything having effect as if it were income, assets or activities of a kind described above.

(4) Lost income tax or capital gains tax “involves an offshore transfer” if—

(a) it does not involve an offshore matter, and

(b) the income or the proceeds of the disposal on or by reference to which it is charged, or any part of the income or proceeds, is transferred to a territory outside the United Kingdom before the relevant date.

(5) In subsection (4)—

“relevant date” means—

(a)

in a case where the taxpayer (or a person acting on the taxpayer's behalf) delivered a return under the Taxes Acts to HMRC for the year of assessment to which the lost tax relates and in which information relating to the lost tax was required to be provided, the date on which the return was delivered, and

(b)

in any other case, 31 January in the year of assessment after that to which the lost tax relates;

references to income or proceeds transferred include references to assets derived from or representing the income or proceeds.

(6) Where lost tax involves an offshore transfer, the cases in which the transfer makes the lost tax significantly harder to identify include any case where, because of the transfer—

(a) HMRC was significantly less likely to become aware of the lost tax, or

(b) HMRC was likely to become aware of the lost tax only at a significantly later time.

(7) But an assessment may not be made under subsection (2) if—

(a) before the time limit that would otherwise apply for making the assessment, HMRC received relevant overseas information on the basis of which HMRC could reasonably have been expected to become aware of the lost tax, and

(b) it was reasonable to expect the assessment to be made before that time limit.

(8) In subsection (7)(a) “relevant overseas information” means information which is provided to HMRC by an authority in a territory outside the United Kingdom under—

(a) any provision of EU law relating to any tax, or

(b) an agreement to which the United Kingdom and that territory are parties, with or without other parties.

(9) An assessment may also not be made under subsection (2) to the extent that liability to the lost tax arises as a result of an adjustment under Part 4 of TIOPA 2010 (transfer pricing adjustments).

(10) In this section “assets” has the meaning given in section 21(1) of the 1992 Act, but also includes sterling.

(11) Section 36(2) to (3A) applies for the purposes of this section (as if references to section 36(1) or (1A) were to subsection (1) of this section).”]

(a) by the amendment or assessment, or

(b) where the appeal is against a conclusion stated by a closure notice, as a result of that conclusion,]

shall be due and payable as if [F587 there had been no appeal.]

[F588 (3) If the appellant has grounds for believing that the amendment or assessment overcharges the appellant to tax, or as a result of the conclusion stated in the closure notice the tax charged on the appellant is excessive, the appellant may—

(a) first apply by notice in writing to HMRC within 30 days of the specified date for a determination by them of the amount of tax the payment of which should be postponed pending the determination of the appeal;

(b) where such a determination is not agreed, refer the application for postponement to the tribunal within 30 days from the date of the document notifying HMRC’s decision on the amount to be postponed.

An application under paragraph (a) must state the amount believed to be overcharged to tax and the grounds for that belief.]

[F589 (3A) An application under subsection (3) above may be made more than thirty days after [F590 the specified date] if there is a change in the circumstances of the case as a result of which the appellant has grounds for believing that he is over-charged to tax by the [F591 amendment or assessment][F592 , or as a result of the conclusion stated in the closure notice][F593 , or where the notice of appeal has been given after the relevant time limit (see section 49)].]

[F594 (4) If, after any determination of the amount of tax the payment of which should be so postponed—

(a) there is a change in the circumstances of the case as a result of which either party has grounds for believing that the amount so determined has become excessive or, as the case may be, insufficient, and

(b) the parties cannot agree on a revised determination,

• the party mentioned in paragraph (a) may, at any time before the determination of the appeal, apply to the tribunal for a revised determination of that amount.]

[F595 (5) Any such application is to be subject to the relevant provisions of Part 5 of this Act (see, in particular, section 48(2)(b)).]

(6) The amount of tax the payment of which shall be postponed pending the determination of the appeal shall be the amount (if any) in which it appears F596 ... that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the appellant is overcharged to tax; and—

[F597 (a) in the case of a determination made on an application under subsection (3) above, other than an application made by virtue of subsection (3A) above, the date on which any tax the payment of which is not so postponed is due and payable shall be determined as if the tax were charged by an [F591 amendment or assessment] notice of which was issued on the date of that determination and against which there had been no appeal; and

(b) in the case of a determination made on an application under subsection (4) above—

(i) the date on which any tax the payment of which ceases to be so postponed is due and payable shall be determined as if the tax were charged by an [F591 amendment or assessment] notice of which was issued on the date of that determination and against which there had been no appeal; and

(a) the agreement is in writing, or

(b) the fact that the agreement has been reached, and the terms of the agreement, are confirmed by notice in writing given—

(i) by the appellant to HMRC, or

(8C) Nothing in this section enables the postponement of the payment of (as the case may be)—

(a) the understated tax to which the payment specified in the notice under section 220(2)(b) of that Act relates,

(b) the disputed tax specified in the notice under section 221(2)(b) of that Act, F604 ...

(ii) the claimant company has failed to act in accordance with paragraph 75(6) of Schedule 18 to the Finance Act 1998].

(8D) Accordingly, if the payment of an amount of tax within subsection (8C)(b) is postponed by virtue of this section immediately before the accelerated payment notice is given, it ceases to be so postponed with effect from the time that notice is given, and the tax is due and payable—

(a) if no representations were made under section 222 of that Act in respect of the notice, on or before the last day of the period of 90 days beginning with the day the notice or partner payment notice is given, and

(b) if representations were so made, on or before whichever is later of—

(i) the last day of the 90 day period mentioned in paragraph (a), and

(ii) the last day of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which HMRC's determination in respect of those representations is notified under section 222 of that Act.]

[F608 (8E) If the payment of an amount of tax within subsection (8C)(ca) is postponed by virtue of this section immediately before notice of the amendment is given, it ceases to be so postponed with effect from the time that the notice of the amendment is given, and the tax is due and payable on or before—

(a) the last day of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the notice is given, or

(b) if later, the last day on which it would have been payable under subsection (8D) if it had been included in the amount specified in the accelerated payment notice or partner payment notice when that notice was given.]

[F609 (9) On the determination of the appeal—

(a) the date on which any tax payable in accordance with that determination is due and payable shall, so far as it is tax the payment of which had been postponed, or which would not have been charged by the [F591 amendment or assessment][F610 , or as a result of the conclusion stated in the closure notice,] if there had been no appeal, be determined as if the tax were charged by an [F591 amendment or assessment]—

(i) notice of which was issued on the date on which [F611 HMRC issue] to the appellant a notice of the total amount payable in accordance with the determination, and

(ii) against which there had been no appeal; and

(b) any tax overpaid shall be repaid.]

F612 [F613 (10) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(10A) In this section “the specified date” means the date of—

(b) in the case of an appeal against a conclusion stated or amendment made by a closure notice, the issue of the closure notice.

[F614 (10B) References in this section to agreements between an appellant and HMRC, and to the giving of notices between the parties, include references to agreements, and the giving of notices, between a person acting on behalf of the appellant in relation to the appeal and HMRC.]]

(b) that amount (the assessed amount) exceeds the amount of any income tax which has been deducted at source, and

(2) Subject to subsection (3) below, the taxpayer shall make two payments on account of his liability to income tax for the year of assessment—

(a) the first on or before the 31st January in that year, and

(b) the second on or before the next following 31st July;

and, subject to [F638 subsections [F639 (4) to (4B)]] below, each of those payments on account shall be of an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the relevant amount.

(3) If, at any time before the 31st January next following the year of assessment, the taxpayer makes a claim under this subsection stating—

(a) his belief that he will not be assessed to income tax for that year, or that the amount in which he will be so assessed will not exceed the amount of income tax deducted at source, and

(b) his grounds for that belief,

each of the payments on account shall not be, and shall be deemed never to have been, required to be made.

(4) If, at any time before the 31st January next following the year of assessment, the taxpayer makes a claim under this subsection stating—

(a) his belief that the amount in which he will be assessed to income tax for that year will exceed the amount of income tax deducted at source by a stated amount which is less than the relevant amount, and

(b) his grounds for that belief,

the amount of each of the payments on account required to be made shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, equal to 50 per cent. of the stated amount.

(b) his assessment to income tax under that section is amended after that date,

then, subject to subsections (3) and (4) above [F641 and subsection (4B) below] and to any subsequent application of this subsection, the amount of the payment on account shall be, and shall be deemed always to have been, equal to 50 per cent. of the relevant amount as determined on the basis of the assessment or, as the case may be, the assessment as amended.]

(a) the amount which, immediately before the making of the assessment under section 29, is the amount of that payment, and

(b) an amount equal to 50 per cent. of the amount in which he is assessed under that assessment;

and if that assessment is varied, the amount in which he is assessed under it shall be taken for the purposes of paragraph (b) above to be the amount of the assessment as varied.]

(5) Where the taxpayer makes a claim under subsection (3) or (4) above [F643 or subsection (4A) [F644 or (4B)] above applies], there shall be made all such adjustments, whether by the repayment of amounts paid on account[F645 , by the making of payments or further payments on account] or otherwise, as may be required to give effect to the provisions of that subsection.

(6) Where the taxpayer fraudulently or negligently makes any incorrect statement in connection with a claim under subsection (3) or (4) above, he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding the difference between—

(a) the amount which would have been payable on account if he had made a correct statement, and

(b) the amount of the payment on account (if any) made by him.

F646 (7) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(a) any income tax deducted or treated as deducted from any income, or treated as paid on any income, in respect of the year, and

(b) any amounts which, in respect of the year, are to be deducted at source under [F648 PAYE regulations] in subsequent years, F649 ...

exceeds the aggregate of any amounts which, in the year, are deducted at source under [F650 PAYE regulations] in respect of previous years.

(9) If, at any time before the 31st January next following a year of assessment, an officer of the Board so directs—

(a) this section shall not apply, and shall be deemed never to have applied, as regards that year to any person specified in the direction; and

(b) there shall be made all such adjustments, whether by the repayment of amounts paid on account or otherwise, as may be required to give effect to the direction.]

(1) This section applies where a company has paid an amount of corporation tax for an accounting period and the circumstances of the company change, so that the company has grounds for believing that the amount paid exceeds its probable tax liability although that liability has not been finally established.

(2) The company may, by notice given to an officer of the Board, claim repayment of the excess.

No such claim may be made before the date which under section 826 of the principal Act (interest on overpaid tax), subject to regulations under section 826A of that Act, is the material date in relation to that tax.

(3) The notice must state—

(a) the amount which the company considers should be repaid, and

(b) its grounds for believing that the amount paid exceeds its probable tax liability.

(4) If the company has appealed against an amendment of an assessment, or an assessment, relating to the tax liability in question, and the appeal has not been finally determined, it may apply to the [F690 tribunal] for a determination of the amount which should be repaid to the company pending determination of the liability.

[F691 (5) Any such application is to be subject to the relevant provisions of Part 5 of this Act (see, in particular, section 48(2)(b)).]

(6) If the company makes an application under section 55(3) or (4) (application to postpone payment pending determination of appeal), that application may be combined with an application under subsection (4) above.

(7) If a company makes a claim or application under this section before it has delivered a company tax return for the period in question, any deductions under [F692 section 61 of the Finance Act 2004] (deductions from payments to certain subcontractors) shall be disregarded in considering whether the amount paid by the company exceeds its probable tax liability.

(8) This section has effect subject to section 59E.]

[F1104 (2ZA) In this section “the initial period” means the period—

(a) beginning with the relevant day, and

(b) [F1105 (subject to subsection (2ZAB))] ending with the earlier of the day on which the penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) is determined and the last day before the failure ceases;

and for this purpose “the relevant day” is the day specified in relation to the failure in the following table.

Failure	Relevant day
A failure to comply with subsection (1) or (3) of section 308 in so far as the subsection applies by virtue of an order under section 306A	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under section 306A(6)
A failure to comply with subsection (1) or (3) of section 308 in so far as the subsection applies by virtue of an order under section 308A(2)	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under subsections (5) and (6)(a) of section 308A (as it may have been extended by a direction under subsection (6)(b) of that section)
Any other failure to comply with subsection (1) of section 308	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection
Any other failure to comply with subsection (3) of section 308	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection
A failure to comply with subsection (1) of section 309	The first day after the end of the period prescribed under that subsection
A failure to comply with section 310	The first day after the latest time by which section 310 must be complied with in the case concerned
[F1106 A failure to comply with section 310A	The first day after the end of the period within which the person must comply with section 310A.]
[F1107 A failure to comply with section 311C	The first day after the end of the period before the end of which the person must comply with section 311C]

[F1108 (2ZAA) Subsection (2ZAB) applies where—

(a) a person fails to comply with a provision mentioned in subsection (2)(a), (b) or (c) in respect of arrangements or proposed arrangements, and

(b) a reference number is subsequently allocated to the arrangements or proposed arrangements in a case within section 311(3) of the Finance Act 2004 (case where notice given under section 310D)).

(2ZAB) Where this subsection applies, the failure to comply is taken for the purposes of this section to have ceased on the day before the reference number is allocated, if it has not already ceased.]

(2ZB) The amount of a penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) is to be arrived at after taking account of all relevant considerations, including the desirability of its being set at a level which appears appropriate for deterring the person, or other persons, from similar failures to comply on future occasions having regard (in particular)—

(a) in the case of a penalty for a [F1109 promoter's] failure to comply with section 308(1) or (3) [F1110 or section 310A], to the amount of any fees received, or likely to have been received, by the [F1111 promoter] in connection with the notifiable proposal (or arrangements implementing the notifiable proposal), or with the notifiable arrangements,

[F1112 (aa) in the case of a penalty for a person's failure to comply with section 311C, to the amount of any fees received, or likely to have been received, by the person in connection with the arrangements, the proposed arrangements or the proposal,] and

(b) in the case of a penalty for a [F1113 relevant] person's failure to comply with section 309(1)[F1114 , 310 or 310A], to the amount of any advantage gained, or sought to be gained, by the [F1115 relevant] person in relation to any tax prescribed under section 306(1)(b) in relation to the notifiable arrangements.

[F1116 (2ZBA) In subsection (2ZB)—

(a) “promoter” has the same meaning as in Part 7 of the Finance Act 2004, and

(b) “relevant person” means a person who enters into any transaction forming part of notifiable arrangements within the meaning of that Part.]

(2ZC) If the maximum penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) above appears inappropriately low after taking account of those considerations, the penalty is to be of such amount not exceeding £1 million as appears appropriate having regard to those considerations.

(2ZD) Where it appears to an officer of Revenue and Customs that a penalty under subsection (1)(a)(i) above has been determined on the basis that the initial period begins with a day later than that which the officer considers to be the relevant day, an officer of Revenue and Customs may commence proceedings for a re-determination of the penalty.

(2ZE) The Treasury may by regulations vary—

(a) any of the sums for the time being specified in subsection (1) above, and

(b) the sum specified in subsection (2ZC) above.]

[F1117 (2A) Where a failure to comply with a provision mentioned in subsection (2) concerns a proposal or arrangements in respect of which an order has been made under section 306A of the Finance Act 2004 (doubt as to notifiability), the [F1118 amounts specified in subsection (1)(a)(i) and (b) above shall be increased to the prescribed sum in relation to days falling after the prescribed period].

(2B) Where a failure to comply with a provision mentioned in subsection (2) concerns a proposal or arrangements in respect of which an order has been made under section 314A of the Finance Act 2004 (order to disclose), the [F1119 amounts specified in subsection (1)(a)(i) and (b)] above shall be increased to the prescribed sum in relation to days falling after the prescribed period.

(2C) In subsection (2A) and (2B)—

(a) “the prescribed sum” means a sum prescribed by the Treasury by regulations, and

(b) “the prescribed period” means a period beginning with the date of the order under section [F1120 306A or] 314A and prescribed by the Commissioners by regulations.

(2D) The making of an order under section [F1121 306A or] 314A of that Act does not of itself mean that, for the purposes of section 118(2) of this Act, a person either did or did not have a reasonable excuse for non-compliance before the order was made.

(2E) Where an order is made under section [F1122 306A or] 314A of that Act then for the purposes of section 118(2) of this Act—

(a) the person identified in the order as the promoter of the proposal or arrangements cannot, in respect of any time after the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2B), rely on doubt as to notifiability as an excuse for failure to comply with section 308 of that Act, and

(b) any delay in compliance with that section after the end of that period is unreasonable unless attributable to something other than doubt as to notifiability.

[F1123 (2EA) Where a person fails to comply with—

(a) section 309 of that Act and the promoter for the purposes of that section is a monitored promoter for the purposes of Part 5 of the Finance Act 2014, or

(b) section 310 of that Act and the arrangements for the purposes of that section are arrangements of such a monitored promoter,

then for the purposes of section 118(2) of this Act legal advice which the person took into account is to be disregarded in determining whether the person had a reasonable excuse, if the advice was given or procured by that monitored promoter.

(2EB) In determining for the purpose of section 118(2) of this Act whether or not a person who is a monitored promoter within the meaning of Part 5 of the Finance Act 2014 had a reasonable excuse for a failure to do anything required to be done under a provision mentioned in subsection (2), reliance on legal advice is to be taken automatically not to constitute a reasonable excuse if either—

(a) the advice was not based on a full and accurate description of the facts, or

(b) the conclusions in the advice that the person relied on were unreasonable.]

(2F) Regulations under [F1124 this section]—

(a) may include incidental or transitional provision,

(b) shall be made by statutory instrument,

(c) in the case of regulations under subsection [F1125 (2ZE) or] (2C)(a), shall not be made unless a draft has been laid before and approved by resolution of the House of Commons, and

(2) An agreement under this Schedule is called a “CGT exit charge payment plan”.

Eligibility U.K.

2 (1) This paragraph applies where a person resident in an EEA state outside the United Kingdom is liable to pay an exit charge for a tax year by virtue of section 25(1) or (3) of the 1992 Act (deemed disposals by non-residents). U.K.

(2) The person is eligible to enter into a CGT exit charge payment plan in relation to any one or more of the assets to which the exit charge relates if—

(a) at the time of the event giving rise to the exit charge, the person had a right to freedom of establishment, or

(i) used in or for the purposes of that trade, or

3 (1) This paragraph applies where the relevant trustees of a settlement are liable to pay an exit charge for a tax year by virtue of section 80 of the 1992 Act (charge on ceasing to be resident in the UK). U.K.

(2) The relevant trustees are eligible to enter into a CGT exit charge payment plan in relation to any one or more of the assets to which the exit charge relates if—

(a) at the time the trustees of the settlement ceased to be resident in the United Kingdom for the purposes of that section, they had a right to freedom of establishment,

(b) immediately before that time, the trustees of the settlement used the asset or assets for an economically significant activity carried on in the United Kingdom, and

(c) immediately after that time, those trustees—

(ii) use the asset or assets for an economically significant activity carried on there.

Tax to which a plan relates U.K.

4 (1) A CGT exit charge payment plan may relate to— U.K.

(a) the whole of the exit charge attributable to the asset or assets to which the plan relates (the “deferrable exit charge”), or

(b) only part of the deferrable exit charge.

(2) In this Schedule—

• “deferred exit charge” means the amount of the exit charge to which a plan relates;

• “taxpayer”, in relation to a plan, means the person eligible under paragraph 2 or 3 to enter into the plan.

(3) For the purposes of this Schedule the exit charge attributable to an asset is such proportion of the exit charge as any gain accruing to the taxpayer in respect of the asset by virtue of section 25(1) or (3) or 80 of the 1992 Act in the tax year bears to the total gains to which the exit charge relates.

Payment by instalments U.K.

5 U.K. A CGT exit charge payment plan must provide for the deferred exit charge to be payable in 6 equal instalments where—

(a) the 1st instalment is due on the day on which payment of the exit charge is (apart from the plan) due and payable under section 59B, and

(b) the other 5 instalments are due one on each of the first 5 anniversaries of that day.

(3) A CGT exit charge payment plan is entered into when—

(a) the taxpayer agrees to pay the deferred exit charge, and any interest on it, in accordance with the plan, and

(b) an officer of Revenue and Customs agrees to accept payment of the deferred exit charge in accordance with the plan.

(4) A CGT exit charge payment plan is void if—

(a) an event giving rise to the exit charge is part of arrangements the main purpose of which, or one of the main purposes of which, is to defer the payment by the taxpayer of the exit charge, or

(b) any information furnished by the taxpayer in connection with the plan does not fully and accurately disclose all facts and considerations material to the decision of the officer of Revenue and Customs to accept payment in accordance with the plan.

Contents of a plan U.K.

7 (1) If the taxpayer is eligible under paragraph 2, a CGT exit charge payment plan must specify— U.K.

(a) the EEA state in which the person entering into the plan is resident, and

(b) if the person has ceased to carry on a trade in the United Kingdom through a branch or agency there, the date on which the person ceased to do so.

(2) If the taxpayer is eligible under paragraph 3, a CGT exit charge payment plan must specify—

(a) the date on which the trustees of the settlement became not resident in the United Kingdom for the purposes of section 80 of the 1992 Act, and

(b) the EEA state in which those trustees became resident.

(3) A CGT exit charge payment plan must specify—

(a) the amount of the exit charge which, in the taxpayer's opinion, the taxpayer is liable to pay under section 25 or (as the case may be) section 80 of the 1992 Act in respect of the tax year, and

(b) the amount of the deferred exit charge.

(4) A CGT exit charge payment plan may contain appropriate provision regarding security for HMRC if an officer of Revenue and Customs considers that there would be a serious risk to collection of any amount of deferred exit charge without it.

Effect of a plan U.K.

8 (1) This paragraph applies where a CGT exit charge payment plan is entered into by the taxpayer. U.K.

(2) The deferred exit charge remains due and payable under section 59B (payment of income tax and capital gains tax: assessments other than simple assessments).

(3) However, the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs—

(a) may not seek payment of any of the deferred exit charge otherwise than in accordance with the plan, and

(b) may make repayments in respect of any of the deferred exit charge paid, or any amount paid on account of the deferred exit charge, before the plan is entered into.

(4) The deferred exit charge carries interest in accordance with Part 9 as if the plan had not been entered into; and each time a payment is made under the plan, it is to be paid together with any interest payable on it.

(5) The taxpayer is liable to penalties for late payment of the deferred exit charge only if the taxpayer fails to make payments in accordance with the plan (see item 3C of the Table at the end of paragraph 1 of Schedule 56 to the Finance Act 2009).

(6) Any of the deferred exit charge which is for the time being unpaid may be paid at any time before it becomes payable under the plan together with interest payable on it to the date of payment.

(7) If—

(a) the taxpayer becomes bankrupt under the law of England and Wales or Northern Ireland or the taxpayer's estate is sequestrated under the law of Scotland,

(b) an event corresponding to an event in paragraph (a) occurs under the law of an EEA state outside the United Kingdom, or

(c) the plan meets the requirements of paragraph 7 as to the matters that must be specified in it.

(2) The CT payment plan may, in the circumstances mentioned in sub-paragraph (3), contain appropriate provision regarding security for HMRC in respect of the payment of the deferred tax.

(3) Those circumstances are where an officer of Revenue and Customs considers that agreeing to accept payment of the deferred tax in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12 would present a serious risk as to collection of the tax in the absence of provision regarding security in respect of its payment.

(4) A CT payment plan is void if any information furnished by the company in connection with the plan does not fully and accurately disclose all facts and considerations material to the decision of the officer of Revenue and Customs to accept payment of the deferred tax in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12.

Content of CT payment plan U.K.

7 (1) A CT payment plan entered into by a company must— U.K.

Effect of CT payment plan U.K.

8 (1) This paragraph applies where a CT payment plan is entered into by a company in accordance with this Schedule. U.K.

(i) may not seek payment of the deferred tax otherwise than in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12;

(ii) may make repayments in respect of any amount of the deferred tax paid, or any amount paid on account of the deferred tax, before the CT payment plan is entered into.

(3) As regards interest—

(a) the deferred tax carries interest in accordance with Part 9 as if the CT payment plan had not been entered into, and

(b) each time a payment is made in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12, it is to be paid together with any interest payable on it.

(4) As regards penalties, the company will be liable to penalties for late payment of the deferred tax only if it fails to make payments in accordance with paragraphs 9 to 12 (see item 6ZAA of the Table at the end of paragraph 1 of Schedule 56 to the Finance Act 2009).

(5) Any of the deferred tax which is for the time being unpaid may be paid at any time before it becomes payable under paragraphs 9 to 12 together with interest payable on it to the date of payment.

(b) the other 5 instalments are due one on each of the first 5 anniversaries of that day.

(2) But see paragraphs 10 to 12 for circumstances in which all or part of the outstanding balance of the deferred tax becomes due otherwise than by those instalments.

The payment method: all of outstanding balance due U.K.

10 (1) Where at any time after a CT payment plan is entered into by a company an event mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) occurs the outstanding balance of the deferred tax is due on the date on which the next instalment of that tax would otherwise be due. U.K.

(6) On the occurrence of the trigger event an amount of the deferred tax is due.

(7) The amount due is—

where—

“A” is the amount of the deferred tax that is attributable to the qualifying transaction (see paragraph 7(2)),

“B” is the amount of the deferred tax that has previously become due under paragraph 12 by reason of a partial trigger event occurring in relation to the qualifying transaction,

“O” is the amount of the deferred tax that is outstanding at the time of the trigger event, and

“T” is the amount of the deferred tax.

(8) In this paragraph “the instalments period” means the period—

(3) A partial trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (3) or (4) of paragraph 3 if there is a disposal by the transferee of a right or liability under the loan relationship or derivative contract concerned which amounts to a related transaction (as defined in section 304 or 596 of CTA 2009 as the case may be).

(4) A partial trigger event occurs in relation to a qualifying transaction within sub-paragraph (5) of paragraph 3 if the transferee enters into a subsequent transaction which results in a reduction in the accounting value of the intangible fixed asset that is the subject of the qualifying transaction but does not result in the intangible fixed asset ceasing to be recognised in the transferee's balance sheet.

(5) In relation to an intangible fixed asset that has no balance sheet value (or no longer has a balance sheet value) sub-paragraph (4) applies as if, immediately before the subsequent transaction, it did have a balance sheet value.

(6) On the occurrence of the partial trigger event an amount of the deferred tax is due.

(7) The amount due is the amount that is just and reasonable having regard to the amount that would have been due had a trigger event occurred in relation to the qualifying transaction instead.

(8) In this paragraph “the instalments period” and “trigger event” have the same meaning as in paragraph 11.]
